Page 2 CAMPUS NEWS The Campus Echo Thursday, April 1, 1999 Election from page 1 Election eve speech night, an opportunity for candidates to state their ideas in front of an audience, was not as well-attended. The facilita tor, SGA President Derrick Jordan had a particular interest in the candi dates for SGA President. “I need to know that I’m leaving [the student body] in good hands,” he said. Jordan said he wanted to contest the notion that the SGA president is merely a “homecoming coordinator.” SGA presidential candidate and eventual winner Clifton Gray said in his speech that reoccurring concerns on campus are a result of “attacking problems with the same solutions,” concluding that “the only resolution is a revolution.” He added that “in a rev olution, which is war, [SGA] should n’t tackle just one thing but attack all goals.” Gray’s speech included a rhyming list of reasons why students are “sick and tired” of NCCU not putting students first and falling short of upholding the school motto: truth and service. “Tlie Merwitfit Legal Program gives giwiMales llie edge need In die compelitlve legal Jky.

Miss NCCU, Erika Murphy, proceeded with a question for the Miss NCCU candidates even after time was up for questioning. She asked: “What will you do when you’re standing alone [as Miss NCCU] and no one is supporting you?” “I’ll never stand alone. I’ll always have God,” answered Miss NCCU candidate Melissa Best. Afterwards, some said they feared a poor voter turnout. Members of the election board said they recalled many past failed efforts to encourage students to vote. “In the spring ‘97 we set up election polls in different places on campus even in the dorms but students still wouldn’t vote,” said Dean Roger Bryant, election board advisor since 1976. Some students were unable to vote this year due to a tornado warning, resulting in the polls closing 30 minutes early at 4:30pm. Polls were not reopened and when the votes were tallied, the results were landslide victories without a hint of controversy. PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER on't get left behind!

One thing that everybody involved in the current assessment of WNCU seems to agree on is that nobody seems to know who’s in charge of the station’s curricular function. “I haven’t really studied the radio station,” Chambers said. “I’m told there is a television/radio connection on campus that is operated entirely by students.” Chambers was referring to Audionet, a student volunteer station that operates out pf WNCU’s studio; some of its volunteers receive course credit in classes such as audio pro duction for their work there, as well as at WNCU. Carter said he wishes there were more students involved, but that he has nothing to do with the academic side of things. “I don’t have anything to do with that,” he said. “I’m a program direc tor. That’s all I do. I program a radio station.” Then he mentioned nine for mer students who worked under him at WNCU who currently have radio jobs in North and South Carolina, Atlanta and Virginia. According to Carter, if there’s lack of student participation a WNCU, the students, too, are t blame. “The reason I don’t have mor students than I have today is becaus students don’t want to do jazz, Carter said. “Everybody that’ knocked on my door wants to kno\ whether or not I do rap. If I don’t d rap, they close the door and move oi down the hall.” “The mission of the university is t educate,” Baker said of the decisioi three-and-a-half years ago to air a jaz format on WNCU. “We also saw it a appropriate to support black classier music.” Special Assistant to the Chancello George Walls, Jr. has been appoint© to submit a radio station report to th chancellor on April 8, based on find ings by subcommittees representin: all factions of the university popula tion. Chambers will review the repoi and make recommendations regard ing WNCU to the board of trustees oi April 21. r Calendar MARCH 31 Women’s Forum: Still Waiting to Exhale, 7 p.m., AESU.
